Nadia: 'Interested in taking action'
"Three of us came to New York today from the University of
Maryland in Baltimore along with the ANSWER bus from that
city," Nadia told Workers World on June 1.
She and many other young people took part in the emergency
anti-war conference held in Manhattan. More than 600 people
registered at the activist event organized by the Act Now to
Stop War & End Racism coalition.
Nadia explained: "We have a group we call the Justice Action
Coalition, or JAC. Some of us were in the Muslim Student
Association, but we got together with other activist students
we met at the university library to form JAC this semester, and
worked toward organizing for the April 20 march in
Washington."
She said she liked the workshop she attended at the June 1
anti-war conference "that focused on organizing. I want to
develop our organizing skills and am more interested in taking
action. We will be working on the action projects proposed at
this conference," Nadia concluded.
